Baby Bump {Week 36}

On the final stretch now. Can you believe it? So soon we will be surrounded by ruffles, pink, and all things girly! I can't wait to have sweet lil miss in my arms and her big brother cannot wait to meet her. Everyday he asks me if she can come out and everyday I have to tell him not yet. I can't wait to introduce him to his baby sister and see the joy in his eyes as he holds her for the first time.

Last week one of my awesome photography friends came over and took our maternity pictures. She did such an wonderful job with them and here is a peak at one of my favorites (but lets face it they are all favorites):

And here is a self portrait bump shot from this week:

How far along? 36 weeks

Measuring at? 37 weeks

Food cravings/aversions: Everything still gives me heartburn. It is ridiculous. Unless of course its cereal or ice cream. Ya know all the really healthy things for me. Good thing we still have strawberries coming or else I would have nothing healthy in my diet.

Sleeping: Well LB has decided to start preparing us for lil misses arrival by waking up at 2am and staying up for hours. It's kind of him to think of us but really we are hoping he stops this asap so we don't have two littles to take care of at the wee hours.

Milestones: She is basically full term now! If you noticed her growth has slowed down as she has been measuring at 37 weeks for the last 4 weeks. We did an ultrasound and everything is perfect with her she is measuring about a pound ahead (which would put her 2 weeks ahead of her "due date") We can't wait to see when she decides to join our family! W is really hoping for a fourth of July baby and I am really hoping she comes in June...so we shall see. {I added a little poll to the side of the blog if you are in the mood to cast your vote}

Interesting things that happened this past week/anticdotes: Well this story is a week or two old but I had to share it on here because it was one of those moments that I couldn't believe the word vomit coming out of this lady's mouth. As most of you may have caught on to by now I love me some starbucks. And our target has a starbucks at it so most times I make a target trip I swing by the starbucks there. It just so happens that the same lady is working every.single.time I am there so we have had quite a few conversations about lil miss. Anyways, I went in the other week and she shouts really loud "oh my goodness you look miserable, I can't believe you haven't had her yet" I then proceed to tell her I feel great in fact and she is not due for a month so she is doing just fine in there. She then proceeds to call her co-workers over and have them gawk at me as she continues to say "doesn't she look like she is about to pop a turkey out look at her belly button she looks miserable doesnt she."  I just stand there and stare. I mean really at this point I have no clue what to say or do and I just want my drink. I try to laugh it off and remind her I still have a few weeks left and this girl isn't coming out yet. But really in my head I had about a million things I wanted to say but God kept reminding me to show grace and not let LB see me get angry. So thankful the Lord talked me down because I can be one feisty lady when I get angry. I was utterly shocked that this lady would say those kinds of things especially because she has children of her own! But luckily now everytime I come in she is overly nice and walks on eggshells while she talks to me. I guess she realized how utterly ridiculous she was talking that day.

Differences this time around: I am definitely having way more braxton hicks. I have them at least 4 times a day lasting for an hour each time. I've timed them a few times only to have them stall so I figure until I start dilating I am not going to time them anymore. Speaking of dilating I am at a zero. Big fat zero. I was at a 1 at this point with LB. I know each baby is different but I really thought lil miss would arrive early and if dilation is any sign of pending birth I think she is going to be late or have to be cut out. No c-section talk yet so everything is still cleared for a vbac and found out yesterday I won't have to get the epidural port put in unless things start to stall or head south then I will have to have it as a precaution based on my last birthing experience. I am totally okay with that! I am glad I have a doctor who is super supportive of my decision and is on board with us trying for a vbac naturally.

I hope I will do at least a few more weekly updates before she arrives. I love having LB's to look back on and one day hope they will enjoy reading these stories of my pregnancy with them.  Any questions?

Baby Bump {Week 33}

I know you all have been sitting in suspense waiting for me to post more bump updates. Okay, probably no one really cares about these but our family but I figured since it has been a month it's due time I update you all on her. And I mean now we are getting closer and closer so who knows when the last update will come. I think after next weeks appointment I will put a little poll on the side of the blog for you all to vote when she will be born. Oh and from the last bump update I was asked what is my favorite outfit. I have to say i love dresses. They are so comfy and make me feel not as pregnant or at least make me feel like a cute pregnant lady. So these pictures are taken in one of my favorite maternity dresses which I also wore with LB.

Week 33 bump

 Love this picture! LB wanted to stand with me and feel his "bump" too. He seriously melts my heart with how much he loves his growing sister.

 How far along? 33 weeks

Measuring at? 37 weeks

Food cravings/aversions: Chocolate and sweets. Really everything that is bad for me.

Sleeping: Lil miss really loves my ribcage. She likes to get nice and cozy in there and then kick me through the night. It's really quite sweet of her. When she isn't playing in my ribs she is punching my bladder so sleeping is quite interesting these days. But I know its just her preparing me for what's to come.

Milestones:  Her skeleton is starting to harden making her ready to come and meet us.

Interesting things that happened this past week/anticdotes: This past weekend I need a mini-getaway with one of my girlfriends. It was so much fun and so relaxing and I loved every minute of it (a post to come soon about that). Anyways we stayed in a lodge and let me just tell you most people have no sense of tact. I mean I had so many people stare at me and make comments and such. I just sat there laughing. One night we were sitting in comfy chairs eating dessert while listening to the pianist and a lady walked by and told her friend "man thats how I feel now too". I almost asked her what that meant but kept my mouth shut. Then a man came by while I was on the phone and leaned over me staring for a little bit then goes oh I thought you were holding a pillow on your stomach not a baby. haha. There is nothing I can do but laugh in these situations. People are funny.

Differences this time around: Definitely the fact that she measures so much bigger. LB was average the whole pregnancy and came out right around the 50 percentile. Lil miss on the other hand has been measuring off the charts. I will be very interested to see if she comes early and how big she ends up being. Today I was joking with W after our appointment that maybe she is so big because there are really 2 in there. I'm pretty sure he almost passed out ;) (Don't worry there is only 1 baby...or else the last 4 ultrasounds have been really off)

So what do you all think....is she going to be a June baby or come in July? Anyone curious about something I didn't mention? I'm an open book here people so feel free to ask away :)

Room Reveal

We have little misses room 98% finished. Just waiting on the glider and curtains but aside from that it is all ready for her to come! I can't wait to see her sweet face sleeping in there. You may recognize the crib and changing table as they are the ones LB used and we scored from a friend for completely free! Definitely makes decorating a nursery more fun when you can spend a little more on details.

Sweet crib

 Changing table and dresser

 The canvas we made.

 The border around the wall we (by we I mean W, he is a rockstar) stenciled so it took forever to get the room finished painting. And that light we got at Ikea years ago and it just fits in so perfectly with her room.

Her verse:

I absolutely love the way her room turned out! The colors are a little off in some of these pictures as the blue is a little more vibrant (think tiffany box blue). I really cannot wait to see her sweet face sleeping in this girly room!

Baby Bump {Week 29}

Week 29 bump shot

(hilarious to me that my belly button cast its own shadow now)

How far along? 29 weeks

Measuring at? 32 weeks

Food cravings/aversions: I have been craving a blt. Which is funny because the first have of this pregnancy I could not stand the smell of bacon. But now that is all baby girl wants.

Sleeping: About the same. Still have the leg cramps. And now her newest trick is jabbing her cute little feet in my rib cage while I try to sleep. I also keep waking myself up gasping for air because I roll to my back and lose my breath. I cant wait to sleep on my back again.

Milestones: She is getting more and more real hair and not just the peach fuss that covers her whole body. I'm hoping she comes out with the same, if not more, hair then her big brother.

Interesting things that happened this past week/anticdotes: It has been an interesting week for sure. Full of me being extra clumsy. The latest stunt happened today as I ran by starbucks before a grocery shopping trip and proceeded to spill half a bottle of water in my lap. It looked like I had peed myself or my water had broke. I was 20 minutes from home and LB was already getting fussy so there was no way I was driving back home to change and then get him back out. So I did what any pregnant mom of a toddler would do and just pushed on. I got quite a few looks in the store and I'm sure most of the people were thinking "did her water break or did she just pee herself?" And of course LB did not make the trip pleasant but instead drew more attention to us by screaming at the top of his lungs through the store. Mind you I was at Aldi's so not a big store by any means. Lesson learned; carry a pair of workout shorts in the car at all times in case one of these "emergencies" present themselves again.

Differences this time around: Definitely the rib jabs. I dont remember them happening as often with LB. Little miss loves making herself nice and cozy in my rib cage and of course LB likes making himself nice in cozy on top of my bump so I have about 1 inch of lung space to breath out of most of the day. 

Update on the VBAC: Well looks like if little miss doesn't make her appearance by 37 weeks I may have to go ahead and schedule the c-section and just pray she appears on her own before the surgery. We (W, me, and my amazing doctor) are getting nervous that she may just get too big to be delivered naturally and we don't want to risk the chance of her getting stuck like LB did. I am praying she will decide to come early on her own so that we do not have to worry about any of this but we shall see. Funny thing is if she does come at 37 weeks she will be born a mere 1 day after LB celebrates his 2 year birthday. I  am so glad it is in the Lord's hands and not my own. Oh how I pray this birth goes more smoothly and without as much scare for us all. 

Her room is 95% complete!!! So excited to get some pictures this weekend and reveal it to you all. I am loving it! 

Edit: Hubs informed me that the picture I posted yesterday makes me appear much larger than I really am something about how I angled myself instead of standing straight on. So here's a new self portrait style photo...what do u all think, any different?

Baby Bump {Week 28}

I now know why people say due dates are a joke. See when I was pregnant with LB I had my due date change twice due to his size. And now with little miss my "due date" also keeps changing. LB came about 2 weeks earlier than his first due date but only 3 days earlier than his final one. Little miss is currently measuring 3 whole weeks earlier than her July 1st due date. Which will land her to be born 1 day after LB turns 2. Hilarious. I am choosing this time not to change the official date because I want all the time I can to get her to come naturally and on her own. We will see how that goes though. Here is my latest bump picture. Sorry for the grainness I took it on my phone in a bathroom mirror while standing on a stool. But I wanted to make sure to get an up to date photo and this was my best attempt. 

How far along? 28 weeks

Measuring at? 31 weeks

Food cravings/aversions: oh goodness what do I not want to eat? I pretty much eat everything in front of me. The only thing I have a hard time drinking is coffee it gives me awful heartburn and sometimes just the smell makes me nauseous. It really is quite sad because I have a bag of 100% kona coffee sitting on my counter-top that hardly ever gets drank.

Sleeping: Holy leg cramps! I seriously do not remember them being this bad last time around. I wake up in the middle of the night flailing because they hurt so much. The worse is when I have to pee and my leg is cramping so I'm hobbling to the bathroom trying not to trip over myself and not pee everywhere. Maybe its time to install a camera along my path so we all can laugh at the scene I make ;)

Milestones: Baby can now blink. Cute huh? I just imagine her in there squinting her little eyes everytime big brother comes at her for his daily kiss fest. Also, I begin my every 2 week appointments! I couldn't believe it when the doctor told me last week. I can't believe we are already to that point.

Interesting things that happened this past week/anticdotes: LB got to feel lil miss dancing about. It was the best thing watching his face as his little sister said hello. He sat there so patiently waiting to feel her and after she gave him a little bump he went back for more. Melts my heart to see how sweet that little boy already is to his sister. I wish I could count the number of times he comes up and kisses her or sings to her everyday, I am sure it is more than 20. He is definitely fascinated with this growing, moving belly of mine.

Differences this time around: My doctor asked me if I feel bigger this time around. It threw me off a little because I hadn't really thought about it. I mean I was huge with LB gaining a whooping 65 pounds and this time I am barely at the 25 pound mark. But once I thought about it I realized I do feel bigger. She may not be making mama gain as much weight but she is surely taking up her fair share of room in there. I am already having to grab her feet out of my rib cages and some of her jabs have me stopping in my tracks. That didnt happen with LB until after the 34 week mark. So I think little miss might actually arrive bigger than her big brother. We shall see though.

In other news the doctor is not very concerned about her blood pools, praise the Lord. Since little miss is growing so well inside me they appear to be no issue at this point but we will do another ultrasound in a few weeks just to make sure all is well in there.

Any questions?

Thoughts for Thursday

Life has been moving rather quickly around here lately leaving this mama wiped by the end of the night. Lots of things going on and lots of fun now that spring has sprung.

~1~ We moved LB to his toddler bed Sunday night! So far it has been a huge success! He loves it. It makes me a little sad how easy the transition was because it now officially means my baby is no longer a baby but a full grown toddler.  He has taken all his naps and bedtime in there without a peep. Although this morning I found him laying by his toy box and his cheek was dotted with the carpet, meaning he slept there for part of the night. But as long as he is quiet I'm not going to push the staying in bed part. Growing too fast on me for sure.

~2~ We had an ultrasound for little miss last Thursday. She still didn't give us a face shot but she was oh so cute. Sucking her thumb, waving at us, giving me some good kicks, and best of all she flipped herself so she is now head down ::praise the Lord:: But we did find out I have a small complication which isn't cause for alarm but could stunt her growth so we will have to keep an eye on it. Apparently, I have pools of blood inside the uterus, in most cases they disappear naturally but if they continue to grow they could stop her from growing. Although, she is still measuring 2 weeks ahead which would land her to be born on our anniversary. So far it looks like the blood pools haven't stopped her. 

Sweet lil miss sucking her thumb

~3~ On vacation LB fell in love. He was smitten for this little lady and they often were caught hugging and kissing one another.  I couldn't get enough of the cuteness and can't wait to show these two lovebirds pictures when they are older ;)

 adorable

~4~ Anyone else as excited as me that Easter candy has hit the shelves? I should really buy stock in starburst jellybeans. They are my favorite and I love all the displays full of them. Although, I will admit I miss getting reeses peanut butter eggs. But the sacrifice is worth it to never see LB swollen up again. But I'm thinking of convincing W to buy me one during a date night.

~5~ I can't wait for this weekend to arrive. We are going to get plants for the garden and new flowers for the front. I love spring time and all the colors coming into bloom. But most of all I love planning our garden knowing that our table is going to be full of home-grown goodness in a few short months.

~6~ We finally picked out lil misses verse. This may be my favorite part of decorating the nursery. LB's verse has been so fitting for him and each day he has us read it to him and lights up at the thought of God's angels watching over him (Psalm 91:11). I can't wait to have those moments with lil miss, putting her to bed while reading her verse over and over again over her. Her room is coming together beautifully and hopefully by the end of the month it'll be finished so I can post a nursery blog for you all.

Baby Bump {Week 24}

Oops. Didn't mean to go a whole month in between an update! Life has been crazy around here as the hubs had 2 weeks in a row of traveling and LB had a cold. Plus, I mean I am pregnant and forget just how tiring that is when you are flying solo! I try and try to keep up as if I'm not carrying around extra weight but its starting to slow me down. In any case here are some pictures and an update :)

24 weeks

Lovin on his baby sister :)

How far along? 24 weeks and 2 days

Baby is the size of a(n): a footlong sub. Or so I think. In any case anytime I think of her size I want a turkey sandwich.

Food cravings/aversions: ice cream. I blame this one 100% on my husband. He has such a sweet tooth and many nights he asks me if I need him to run out and get me anything of course ice cream is on the top of his list for what my cravings should be. And now that the weather is warming up I can't resist.

Sleeping: Okay. I mean last night I woke up with an awful leg cramp and really had to pee. It is almost impossible to walk to the bathroom without falling flat on your face during a leg cramp. Needless to say I am now filling up on gatorade and bananas.

Milestones: If the baby was born today she would be viable. Woohoo! This is such a great milestone to reach especially when I have been having braxton hicks for the past few weeks and every time wonder if they will go away. I know I know this is completely par for course the second time around but it still freaks me out a little when they come.

Interesting things that happened this past week/anticdotes: LB is so obsessed with my bump. It is quite cute and shows me he is going to be such a great big brother. But lately he thinks he should pull my shirt up everywhere to kiss the baby. And he also wants to do this to every person he sees.  I am trying so hard to teach him the baby is only in mommy's belly but he doesn't really understand that. My favorite of all is when he pulls up his own shirt and points to his belly telling everyone there is a baby in there. Adorable.

Differences this time around: As weird as this sounds I think I actually have more energy this time. It may be part due to that I am more in shape and eat better...aside from the ice cream runs ;) It probably also helps that I'm not able to just lay around and nap all day. LB is so full of energy that I have to be up running around and playing with him all day long.


Can you all believe we are already at 24 weeks?! I have another ultrasound coming up soon and I am so hoping baby girl gives us some face shots this time. I am getting more and more excited to meet her and enjoy chasing her around too.

Baby Bump {Week 20}

Half way there! Well ya know if little miss actually decides to come at the 40 week mark. Although, she is measuring 2 whole weeks earlier. I have a feeling little miss is going to be another June baby. 

Bump shots

{20 weeks}

 {Woo mom your belly is getting big}

 

How far along? today I am 20 weeks and 1 day

Baby is the size of a(n): banana.

Food cravings/aversions: Burgers. Seriously, all I want is to go out and eat hamburgers. I don't know why but I love them. And I also want pineapple all the time. Maybe I should try a pineapple glazed hamburger. Get both those cravings satisfied in one meal.
 

Sleeping: Doing good right now. I wake up tossing and turning and making bathroom trips but its not too bad.

Milestones: We found out baby is a little miss! Could not be happier to be adding a lady to the mix! I honestly believed we would have all boys so it is fun to see that God wanted us to have a girl in this family. We even decided on her name, but its under lock and key for now and will probably always be on this blog. I can't wait to get some pink and tutu's in this house. Now to just decide on a perfectly girly room color

Interesting things that happened this past week/anticdotes: I've had a few people comment that they can't even tell I am pregnant when I am sitting down. Now I am not sure if I should take this as a compliment or an insult. Yes, I know they mean it nice but if you think about it then that means they just assume I am pudgy while sitting down. Not sure I like that assumption. In any case I definitely feel pregnant and already have the back pain to prove it. Although, I attribute most of that from picking LB up all day long and stopping him from head diving on my belly multiple times a day.

Differences this time around: I think the biggest difference this time is I am much happier. I love the role God has given me as a mother. I love raising my children. I love the miracle growing inside of me. Not that I didn't love LB growing inside of me but I had the stress of a job that wasn't my fit. I was constantly stressed out because I wasn't the image my boss wanted and as much as I tried to be who God was telling me to be he couldn't see that. Difference of opinion some might say. So in any case my last pregnancy was full of stress and this one isn't. Makes a huge difference on a person, being where God wants you to be and being joyful in that. I honestly love being a mom and a wife. I love the joy of seeing LB grow daily and being home when my hubby arrives from work. It is exactly where God wants me and I'm loving it.

Can you believe we are already at the half way point? It seems to be flying by this time around! (I am sure in a few months I will retract that statement). I am also still undecided on a VBAC but I am sure by the time of delivery I will know ;) Plus at this point little miss is butt down so if she stays that way the decision will be made and she most definitely will be a June baby.

Wordless Wednesday

18 week bump! T-minus 5 days until the gender reveal :)

Baby Bump {Week 17}

 I've exploded this week. Apparently, baby wanted to come out and say hi! :)

 

How far along? today I am 17 weeks and 3 days

Baby is the size of a(n): turnip. I really wonder who comes up with these size measurements.

Food cravings/aversions: Up until this week I only wanted to eat mexican food and now it gags me. Boo. Also, I am way more hungry this week. Might explain the baby pop.

Sleeping: Also this week began the nightly middle of the night bathroom trips. I normally spend a good 30 minutes debating with myself that I really don't have to pee. Maybe if I cut out that 30 minute pep talk I could sleep better.

Milestones: The belly pop. Wait...is that not a milestone? Well I consider it one because now I actually look pregnant and not just like I haven't lost my baby weight from LB. Seriously just last week I had someone do a double take when I said I was pregnant. As if I would not cover up my fat if it wasn't a baby. Geez.

Interesting things that happened this past week/anticdotes: I don't gag anymore chewing gum. Well I'll take that back I still gag if its mint flavored gum but all others I can chew with no problems.

I figured for your voting purposes and because its fun to compare I will show you what I looked like while 17ish weeks pregnant with LB. I can't tell if I look any different. Really. I keep going back and forth on this one. (Thank goodness this pregnancy I use better lighting for these pictures and take it from my better side.)

Anything you all want to know? And thanks for your ideas on vbac's. I'm so thankful my doctor is so laid back and not pressuring me to decide anytime soon.

Baby Bump {Week 16}

I thought I would try to post the weekly update on Mondays but I think I will just do them whatever day I happen to have a free moment. So this week its bump Thursday!

I missed a picture last week so here is the one from this week. 

How far along? today I am 16 weeks and 4 days

Baby is the size of a(n): avocado

Food cravings/aversions: I love all things citrus and greek yogurt. Obsessed. Oh and ice cream.

Sleeping: Once I get to sleep I'm great its the getting to sleep part. I don't know why it's so hard but I just can't get comfortable.

Milestones: I think this fact is pretty neat. The baby is now pumping 25 quarts of blood a day! That's how much jelly we have canned. To think of it that way amazes me. That our little peanut is already pumping so much blood through their organs and growing so quick. 

Interesting things that happened this past week/anticdotes:We had a doctors appointment last week and found out the heartrate is 144. Which is almost exactly what LB's was at this time. I also realized this week that I weigh now what I did when I got pregnant with LB. Crazy how different it is this time around. I think a lot of that is due to chasing a little boy up and down the stairs all day long.

Differences this time around: I am starting to feel pregnant. Like losing my breath carrying LB around the store. I didn't really feel pregnant with LB until the last month or so. This time around I definitely feel it. 

Opinion?: I have also been really considering doing a Vbac this time around. I go back and forth on it daily but I would love to not have to go thru the c-section again and then the long recovery. Plus, I really do think I could do it as long as baby doesn't get stuck like big brother did ;) Any of you moms out there have a vbac or repeat c-section? What was your main reason for deciding either way? Any opinions/suggestions/experience tips on the matter are greatly appreciated!

We have our ultrasound to find out the sex on Feb. 6th! I am so excited :) I really have no clue if we have a boy or a girl in there and can't wait to find out! I almost wish we could go in today and know. I'm adding a little poll to the side of the blog so feel free to cast your vote! This time around we are going to do a fun little reveal party with our house church the day after we find out. The losing team has to cook the other team dinner the following week! So hope I pick the right gender team to be on ;)

Baby Bump {Week 14}

I am going to try and update on the baby once a week. I was so good with LB that I don't want to slack too much with this one. I may switch up the questions a little from last time but we shall see. My favorite part of anyone's pregnancy is watching their belly grow, so to be fair I will share with you all growth pictures of mine. I feel like I am so much bigger this time around but really I am about the same. The only real difference is my belly button already popped out and I am already feeling round ligament pains. 

 

Front view with my baby on my shoulder ;)

Side view

 LB loves giving baby a hug. He is going to be such a great big brother

How far along? today I am 14 wks 1 days

Baby is the size of a(n): lemon.

Food cravings/aversions: This time around I am loving apples and mexican. With LB it was all things citrus. But I absolutely cannot stand pork this time around. Even the smell makes me sick. Luckily, we really don't eat that much pork but my mom sometimes makes roast here and her favorite is pork roast. I finally had to teach her how to make it in a crockpot so she could make it away from me ;)

Sleeping: Not too bad yet. I probably wake up once or twice for a bathroom run but besides that we are good. I think its easier this time because I started using the blessed pregnancy pillow the week we found out. It helps me sleep so much better by taking all the pressure off my hips. I also think spending my day chasing LB around has me so worn out at bedtime that I just crash.

Milestones: We are in the 2nd trimester!  Such a fun milestone to be at. Although, I can't really complain first trimester was not too bad for me just nausea here and there but overall pretty easy. I am looking forward to the renewed energy I have been given this week and to be able to stay up with hubs at night without crashing so quickly. OH and I also felt the baby move! I love those first little flutters. Seriously, melts my heart everytime. I know LB is just going to love feeling his sibling kicking and punching about in a few weeks.

Interesting things that happened this past week/anticdotes: Not too much interesting is going on here. I still fit into my clothes but slowly my buttons are becoming undone and my shirts are getting short. Unfortunately, (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) all the maternity pants I have are way too big so I think it will be a few more month until I get into them. I was blessed during my last pregnancy to be given a stack full of jeans in sizes bigger than what I normally wear so I think those will become my go to clothes here pretty soon.

Differences this time around: I think the biggest one I have noticed so far is weight gain. With LB I gained a ton of weight. In the first trimester alone with him I gain 18 pounds. I know a lot of it was due to stress I had from my job and other things going on. So this time it is nice seeing the scale slooowly creep up. I also think it helps that I was running before I got pregnant this time and a lot more active. I have stopped running now though, because I had lots of spotting early on and didn't want to cause any harm by running but I am still staying active chasing LB around, playing Just Dance on the Wii and this week I am going to start doing my pregnancy yoga again. 

So that's about all I got for now. Do you guys have any questions you'd like me to add to these weekly updates?

Christmas Card surprise

This year in our Christmas cards we revealed a little surprise...

LB's getting a sibling! Coming around July 1st! We found out soon after we completed our 5K. 

I'll do a 12 week update here soon. But can I just say we are so excited!!! At our appointment last week they couldn't find baby's heartbeat, after my heart went back in my chest we went to get an ultrasound. Apparently, my bladder was so full that I had pushed the baby up into my rib cage so they couldn't find the lime size baby with the heartbeat monitor. Baby is perfectly healthy and we got a fun little picture :)

So this explains my blogging absence a little more. I have been blessed and haven't been feeling too bad...just tired. Which I think is typical of moms of a toddler.
